Transport and Storage Special personnel qualification for transport and storage Transport and Storage Special personnel qualification for transport and storage Transports may only be carried out by qualified staff, who must observe the safety instructions. Safety precautions for transport and storage Warning! Danger from packaging material with sharp edges! ►...
Transport and Storage Dimensions / weights Storage of the pump Caution! Frost Risk due to external conditions. ► In case of frost risk, drain the pump completely. If the pump is not used immediately, proper storage conditions are as important for later operation as careful installation and proper maintenance.
Transport and Storage Disposal of packaging material • After a longer storage period (more than 6 months), all elastomers (O-rings, shaft seals) must be checked for their elasticity. Brittle elastomers must be replaced. • Protect the pump from cold, moisture and dust, as well as from mechanical influences.
Technical data Serial number Technical data The operating safety of the delivered machine is only guaranteed if the machine is used as intended according to the sections of the operating instructions and the purchase order. Warning! Overload of the pump! ►...
Technical data Rotation speed for O-ring seals – Application (speed, viscosity, etc.) The maximum differential pressure is specified on the nameplate. Rotation speed for O-ring seals The rotation speed of the O-ring seals is limited to ensure trouble-free operation. Please note the specified values. Hint! The maximum permissible speed depends on the nature of the pumped medium.
Assembly and installation Safety precautions for setup, installation, and connection Assembly and installation Safety precautions for setup, installation, and connection Warning! Mechanical overload! ► Do not use the pump and its connection port as support for the pipeline. (EN 809 5.2.1.2.3 and EN ISO 14847). ►...

Assembly and installation Safety precautions for setup, installation, and connection Caution! Vibration! ► Ensure stable construction for mounting of the pump and piping. Insufficiently stiffened substructures may cause an overall structure capable of oscillating, which is excited to oscillate by hydraulic and/or motor forces during changing operating conditions in the system.
The shaft must be rotatable without the rotors rubbing. If a rotor rubs against something, it has some damage that may have happened during transport of the pump. If the rotors rub: Contact the GEA Hilge service. If the rotors rotate freely: Reattach the coupling guard.
Assembly and installation Setup, installation, and connection Align the unit horizontally over the machined flat surfaces of the connecting pieces with a machine spirit level parallel to the motor axis. After aligning the unit, tighten the fastening screws evenly in a crosswise sequence (where applicable).
Assembly and installation Setup, installation, and connection 6.3.3.2 Space requirements Maintain the following minimum distances. Pay attention to motor performance. 0.55 - 4 kW 300 mm 5.5 - 30 kW 300 mm Fig.6: Minimum distances (schematic representation) 6.3.3.3 Noise and vibration damping In NOVALOBE rotary piston pumps with base frame, the machine feet are equipped with dampening rubber.

Assembly and installation Setup, installation, and connection Operation with frequency converter Operating Conditions Measures Install a dU/dt filter between the motor and frequency Noise-sensitive applications converter (reduces voltage spikes and thus noise). Particularly noise-sensitive applications Install sinusoidal filter. Use a cable which satisfies the conditions prescribed Cable length by the manufacturer of the frequency converter.
Assembly and installation Earth the unit Equipotential bonding for the motor and pump is performed via the protective conductor connection in the terminal box. 6.3.6 Operation Principle Two precisely synchronised rotary pistons rotate in opposite directions. One in the clockwise direction the other in the counterclockwise direction. Due to the symmetrical shape of the rotors, the pump is suitable for operation in both directions.
Commissioning Special personnel qualification Commissioning Special personnel qualification The commissioning personnel must be suitably qualified for this work. See also Section 2.6, Page 15. Safety instructions for commissioning Warning! Danger by conveying against a closed shut-off valve. Rapid heating and sudden pressure increase. ►...
Commissioning If there is no increase of delivery head after commissioning: Switch off the pump. Again vent the pump (system). Repeat steps 7 to 10 and note section on Disruptions and Assistance for Disposal . 7.3.3 Functional testing of the mechanical seal Perform the following steps: Inspect the pump and check whether liquid exits at the mechanical seal.
Cleaning Special personnel qualification Cleaning To ensure the quality of sensitive fluids, pumps must be cleaned immediately after each use. Only in this way will adhesions and deposits be removed completely and contamination of the products be prevented. To achieve the best possible results, Hilge pumps are optimised with regard to gap and dead spaces, designed according to DIN EN 13951, and resistant to the cleaning agents referred to in the following chapter.
Cleaning Warning! Pressure shock by evaporating liquid! ► Completely empty the system before steam sterilisation. Notice Disposal of cleaning agents ► Dispose of cleaning agents properly and in an environmentally friendly way. CIP stands for Cleaning in Place, the pump is completely rinsed with cleaning agents.
Cleaning SIP stands for sterilisation in place, in which the pump is sterilised with superheated steam. For steam sterilization or sanitization, minimum temperatures of 121 ° C (250 ° F) must be applied to all wetted surfaces. The maximum permissible temperatures can be obtained from the section technical data.
